Queen Margrethe of Denmark, King Harald of Norway, and Prince Albert of Monaco addressed their people on the 31 December.

Wrong information in question awarding the Nobel Peace Prize. The prize is personally given to the winner by the CHAIRMAN of the Nobel Commitee (not the king). The commitee which is situated in Oslo, is an totally independant organization, with no political links to the Norwegian Gouvernement.
